For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 meters (6 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometers (3.1 mi).

The Earth curves about 8 inches per mile. As a result, on a flat surface with your eyes 5 feet or so off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away

Humans can see from 380–740 nanometers (nm)

So, the answer is no, if you can only barely see 3 miles away, then you wouldn't be able to read the name of a boat 3.1 miles away.

docker41 [41]

The correct answer is:

C. Assertion, evidence, assumption

Assertion-Evidence, assumption is a type of writting pattern in  which a sentence headline states the main message of the writing (Assertion). The Assertion will be later supported with evidence, could be testimony, visually with pictures, or in any way you want to complement your paragraph. After this, you create an "Assumption" based on all the data you obtained.

Trains of the Future?
Blababa [14]
If trains were still continued to the future the first thing I would help them become more safe. I would do this by allowing them to stop faster and limiting the speeds. Hopefully this would help the society from getting injuries by the trains around them or even being in the train.
